<p style="font-size: 18px;">Medical waste can be a concern in places many people wouldn’t expect – Tattoo studios, for instance.

However, they do share some similarities with healthcare settings in terms of the tools and materials of their trade, as well as the waste products generated as they work. So what qualifies as medical/hazardous waste in a tattoo shop and what do these artists need to know about handling regulated waste properly?</p><div class="hs-featured-image-wrapper">
